Modic changes, a common observation in MR imaging, are signal intensity changes in vertebral body marrow, adjacent to the endplates of degenerative discs.Michael T. Modic, MD, professor of radiology and neurology at Case Western in Cleveland, wrote about these changes in the journal Radiology in 1988, and his name has been associated with these changes ever since.Modic changes take 3 main forms:Type I· Decreased signal on T1, and increased signal on T2.· Represents marrow edema.· Associated with an acute process.· Histological examination shows disruption and fissuring of the endplate and vascularized fibrous tissues within the adjacent marrowType II - the most common type· Increased signal on T1, and isointense or slightly hyperintense signal on T2.· Represents fatty degeneration of subchondral marrow.· Associated with a chronic process.· Histological examination shows endplate disruption with yellow marrow replacement in the adjacent vertebral body.Type I changes convert to Type II changes with time, while Type II changes seem to remain stable.Type III· Decreased signal on both T1 and T2.· Correlate with extensive bony sclerosis on plain radiographs.· Histological examination shows dense woven bone; hence, no marrow to produce MRI signal.MODIC CHANGES on MRIT1T2SignificanceTYPE 1¯­EdemaTYPE II­® (or slight­)Fatty DegenerationTYPE III¯¯Bony Sclerosis

Modic type 2 changes refer to a specific type of bone marrow edema seen on MRI, typically associated with degenerative disc disease. These changes indicate an increase in fatty marrow and are often found in the vertebrae adjacent to degenerated intervertebral discs. While Modic type 2 changes can be asymptomatic, they are sometimes linked to chronic low back pain. Their clinical significance is still debated, and they may reflect underlying disc degeneration rather than direct pain causation.
The major promoter of fatty plaque buildup in the coronary arteries is high cholesterol. High cholesterol can be treated with dietary changes or medication.
During partial hydrogenation, cis fatty acids are rearranged to trans fatty acids because of the difference in the spatial orientation of hydrogen atoms on the carbon chain. The catalyst used in the process favors the alignment of hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of the carbon chain, leading to the formation of trans double bonds. This process changes the structure of the fatty acids from a cis to a trans configuration.
The amount of fatty acids in the duodenum can change based on factors such as dietary intake, hormonal regulation, and bile secretion. After a meal high in fat, the release of cholecystokinin stimulates the gallbladder to release bile which aids in the emulsification of fats. This can increase the amount of fatty acids present in the duodenum for absorption.
No. The word fatty (containing fat) is an adjective (e.g. fatty meat, fatty acids).
Fatty liver can be improved by making lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, managing weight, reducing alcohol intake, and avoiding unnecessary medications that can worsen liver function. In some cases, medication may be prescribed by a doctor. Treatment should be tailored to the individual based on the underlying cause of the fatty liver.

Facial liposuction can be used together with or instead of mentoplasty to improve the patient's profile. In particular, removal of fatty tissue below the chin can make a receding chin look larger or more prominent.
There are fatty plaques, usually related to cholesterol deposits, on the wall of the aorta and which are not obstructive and there is no ballooning of the aortic wall.
